trious, productive life, and his practical, 

 constructive ability for making^ every- 

 thing with which he was working count 

 to good purpose. 



To test the completeness of this col- 

 lection, after having reviewed the first 

 line, arranged with the fore-runners in 

 the center — the reprint of Dr. Brown's 

 Repertoi-y (1781), the pharmacopoeias 

 of the Massachusetts Medical Society 

 (1808), and of the New York Hospital 

 (1816)— flanked on the left by the Phar- 

 macopoeia of 1820, bearing the auto- 

 graph of the President (Samuel L. 

 Mitchill, M. D.) of the first National Con- 

 vention, and on the right by the presen- 

 tation copy of the Ninth Revision, Prof, 

 Arny called for the two revisions of 

 1830, which were published by two sep- 

 arate conventions — one meeting in New 

 York and the other in Washington. 

 These were at once produced, and placed 

 amicably side by side. So far as appears 

 on the surface, this was the only "serious 

 misunderstanding" (see Hist. Introd., 

 U. S. P., Rev. 6, 1883, p. VH) that ever 

 occurred ; and this happened while all the 

 members still belonged to the rank of the 

 M. D.'s. For pharmacists were not in- 

 vited to the councils of the pharma- 

 copoeial body until 1840, and took no 

 active part until 1850. 



The books included in the National 

 Formulary line are : The New York and 

 Brooklyn Formulary of Unofficial Prep- 

 arations, ed. 2, N. Y., 1884 (Dr. Rice's 

 own copy, interleaved, and annotated in 

 his own handwriting) ; A Preliminary 

 Draft of a National Formulary of Un- 

 official Preparations, Phila., 1886; the 

 first three National Formularies of LTn- 

 official Preparations ("first issue," 

 1888, "revised edition," 1896, "third edi- 



tion," 1906) ; and the National Formu- 

 lary, ed. 4, 1916.*

 eight bound volumes.
